<h2>Arrows</h2>


<p>LaTeX provides commands for all sorts of arrows. The

    following commands are used only in math mode.</p>


<p>In general the command names are created from "left",

    "right", "up", or "down". "leftright" gives a double headed

    arrow. Prefacing with "long" gives a longer arrow. Capitalizing

    the first letter gives a double-shanked arrow.</p>


<p>Examples are</p>


<ul>

    <li><tt>\leftarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\Leftarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\longleftarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\Longleftarrow</tt></li>

</ul>


<ul>

    <li><tt>\rightarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\Rightarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\longrightarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\Longrightarrow</tt></li>

</ul>


<ul>

    <li><tt>\leftrightarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\Leftrightarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\longleftrightarrow</tt></li>

</ul>


<ul>

    <li><tt>\uparrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\downarrow</tt></li>

    <li><tt>\Uparrow</tt></li>

</ul>


<ul>

    <li><tt>\nearrow</tt> points from southwest to northeast</li>

    <li><tt>\searrow</tt> points from northwest to southeast</li>

    <li><tt>\swarrow</tt> points from northeast to southwest</li>

    <li><tt>\nwarrow</tt> points from southeast to northwest</li>

</ul>


<p>The <tt><a href="stackrel.html">\stackrel</a></tt> command is

    useful for putting things over or under your arrow.</p>
